PETA slams Mario over the use of a fur suit

[Veno]

Oh god, the balut...

My parents used to eat balut when their friends came over, and it scared the heck out of me as a kid. Just...having the whole body of the embryo there, I can't stomach it. Kudos to those of you who can though.

The problem is there is a difference between eating a dog and eating YOUR dog. You've emotionally bonded with one. Most people with pet turkeys wouldn't eat said turkeys either.

Tried playing Super Tanooki Skin 2D, the control was ass.

PETA sucks.

Super Tofu Boy's controls were terrible too.

You just lost a potential supporter, PETA! Learn how to make games, morons!

For those that haven't seen it for whatever reason.

I believe in natural selection. I am naturally liking the taste of animals I have selected to eat. I don't believe in killing animals unless they are being put towards survival uses. Like eating them or wearing them( under the fact that you don't have regular clothes available to you like amazon tribes or something). Also there are a lot of rumors about PETA killing animals themselves but it is hard to tell whats true and whats anti PETA bullshit. I broke up with a girl one time for being a supporter of PETA. I don't like crazy chicks.

The PETA guys are the most insane group I know. Does anyone remember the catfish fiasco? Or when they complained when Valve said that the ten class wa goingo be a dog? Or that Cooking Mama "game" they make because they felt it didn't include enough vegetarian recipes?

Or does anyone remember when they steal/accept animals and then kill them?

Bunch of dicks.

PETA are crazy fuckers, and I'm speaking as a vegetarian. I hate how people assume all vegetarians are like these idiots.

Besides the obvious idiocy of this, the Cooking Mama complaint made me laugh more. Not enough vegetarian recipes? There were proportionally more than you'd find in most restaurants, thats for sure


As for the eating animals topic, I have nothing against eating most animals, but I really don't think we should be eating stuff like whales which are increasingly rare and endangered. Lets not start some dumb argument about this though. I know how it normally goes - "dur hur hur, he doesnt like the idea of eating whales so now I'll mock him about how delicious meat is, that'll show that stupid veggie"

PETA is genius.

You are all talking about it (as are most other game sites), which is all they really expect. Bravo.

I very much think that there's such a thing as bad publicity.

I also talk about rape and genocide and that doesn't mean I support it.

Shut up you stupid veggie you!

Couldn't resist

So they just now have a problem with this?!?
The Tanooki Suit was in Mario 3, back in 1990!!!!

A little late to the game there...

And of course, complaining about animal cruelty where no animals have been cruel to is kind of pointless and stupid.

Goes with my theory that people like to get worked up about a cause, no matter how ridiculous it is. Gives 'em purpose, cures their boredom, or something like that.
